This is making me want to pop my Pineapple Express seeds and get them going. Those ladies look amazing!
I have a question about your flood table system. It looks like the cement mixing tubs from home depot/Lowe's that I am planning on using in my grow. Is that right? If so, what are your flood and drain times for these? Im curious, as I have not yet started to flower in mine yet and this is my first go at flood and drain tables.

Do it! I popped all 5 in the pack, all germed fast and easily. There is a plant in the back right that cant be seen because its a short sativa pheno but its the only 1 out of 5 that was seriously different than the rest. Very stable genetics in my opinion or just pure luck lol
Yup the big ass tub from the depot, it was 12 bucks i think, its the bigger of the two sizes they had on the shelves. Works great as a cheaper alternative but my only complaint is that it's a bit bendy in the middle so it created dips that water sat in and didnt drain fully. Had this tub for 2 runs now and it hasn't caused any problems. Cutting the holes for the drain and fill caps was a bitch though, guess my drill sucks lol
As far as flood times ive been flooding 3 times during the on hours, first one is 1 hour after the light turns on for 15 minutes, second one is for 30 minutes 6 hours in and the last flood 1 hour before the light shuts off. Works great, not over watering problems, even used these times for the seedlings just stretched the timing of the floods out farther apart during veg, still only flooding 3 times. Never flood during lights off.
All in all you're going to love the tables, its seriously the easiest hydro growing method out there in my opinion, i just fill the res with new nutes every week and pretty much check up on the ladies once a day. Don't even check PH but thats another discussion haha. Good luck!

Day 55 Flowering
Comparing day 46 to day 55, there is about a 10% increase in girth between the two pictures(i try to take the first overall plant shot in the same spot).
I'm going to let them ago another 7 days, will see about cutting them down next Saturday, day 62. If i still see 10%+ girth increase i wont be cutting.

Awesome! Thanks for the info! Your ladies look amazing so far, can't wait to see what the final weight is. This is making me anxious to start flowering my baby girls!

Aww fucking great, I'm glad I found this thread I was planning on building my own table also, after growing in DWC an having issues mostly with PH fluctuations an dead roots in the system, Ebb & flow seems to be a lot easier to deal with issues an cleaning an res changes should be hassle free an not damaging the roots, What size is your reservoir?

its a 22 gallon tub i think, i only fill it with 12 gallons though, it usually leaves 2 gallons left at the end of the week. perfect weight for me to lift and dump easily

Pineapple is one of my favorite strains to grow. I found it did better if i was hands off more than on. Great looking plants man. I'm drooling..

Yeah that's what sucks for me is the cleaning out of my DWC Res, an now since I'm doing a scrog I don't clean at all I just refill, an it has cause a small problem with pH.
So now I'm looking into flood & drain tables, for the ease of access to the res an the ability to move my plants in an out of my system freely, I'm planning the similar set-up to yours but I'm going to use the smaller home depot cement tub the 27x 20 inch 10 gallon one, but I'm unsure about my res size I was thinking a 10 gallon Rubbermaid, but I'm unsure What would you recommend?
I'm limited to a 36x20x62 tent, with a 300w LED a few CFL's on the sides of the LED which penetrates about 2ft before it starts to lose intensity so I was wondering about your space how far is your light from the the table?

oddly enough all the pistols on the PEs are red and receding, the only one that doesnt look done is the CR+. Pics of harvest coming soon once i finish.

Day 60 Flowering, Harvest day.
Had a good run, got way more than i ever expected, can't wait for the dry weigh in! This is the most weed I've ever produced easily. Hoping for 10+ ounces. The first pic is 3 lines of pot, hard to get a picture of all the buds so that will have to do =D

Love it. Awesome!!!
what temps did you run. I experimented with mine and found she exploded at 90 degrees. I ran her clone at 90 and increased my yield by 22 grams. There is a pheno out there that has crazy root growth and very high yields. It was a sad day when she passed away and my buddy with her clones threw them out over beeing paranoid
